2nd Hello From Afghanistan

[planetx]

Subjects are getting more varied this week.....aside from the helicopters, `i actually got to meet some locals. For the Phots amongst you all, it is an amazing place if you can put the shootings and IED's to the back of your mind.
Light is a bit harsh between 10 am and 2pm.

I am a an Army ( Defence) Photographer attached to Media Operations with 19 Brigade.

We are a group of only 40 Photographers/Video cameramen in the world. I am usually based at Wilton in the UK with Headquarters Land Forces Media Ops group.

Our job is to document and record day to day life wherever the Army may be, this includes Operations,Adventure training, parades,sport, ...pretty much anything.

We also have a Combat Camera Team out here deployed straight to the frontline whenever needed, this obviously has its risks....but you get images that no press can get.



Our imagery, if used for news purposes is free to the press globally.....hence a lot of our images get into the news and newspapers - because it is FREE!!! and saves them having to send out camera operators.

All of the video you watch daily on BBC,ITN,SKY News is filmed by us and wired back daily.

My images are cropping up everywhere from the USA -Australia.

If you have not seen these videos then I suggest you watch them, as it gives an insight into what we are about.
Thanks for looking

[Leeshez]

Wow brilliant piccys .

 

[Just Bob]

Hi Steve.
Another great set.
Never been in a war zone and don't plan on doing so. You are a brave man doing a brilliant job. The images you have sent back really capture the atmosphere there and some of the shots of the locals seems to sum up their dispair and gratitude that our guys, including you, are there to help and let the world know what it's like in a war torn country. Keep up the good work and keep yourself safe.

All the best.

BobRTE

 

[Pettsi]

A lot of us wouldn't have the bottle to go to there with a gun, let alone with just a camera! lol..
